>> obama and kerry have both said strongly that they do not consider this to be in any way reflective of the cold war. but they said that when they felt like they were winning with the new ukrainian government that wanted to jettison the russians and orient themselves toward europe. i assure you putin sees this 100% in cold war terms. ukraine is considered a part of russia, but overwhelmingly by the russian people and by the kremlin. they have absolutely no intention of letting it go. at no point did the americans call on the ukrainian government to respect the terms of the military lease, for example, ongoing military lease with the ukrainian base. the russians see all of this as the potential of loss of their own empire in their backyard. i assure you there is absolutely no chance that putin's going to simply allow that to happen. so from his perspective it's very zero sum, it's very confrontational, and they're not going to let it go and the americans are going to have to deal with that fact. >> all righty. ian bremer, thank you so much for being with us, and what's going on there.
